This is bizarre. They only invited the guy to use him as a punching bag. We never did discover what he had to say. The narrative that the network is pushing is “personal responsibility.” It’s, of course, a one-way responsibility, only for those who bought homes. The banks and mortgage foreclosure companies, the financial firms that packaged these mortgages as gambling chips, they don’t appear to have any responsibility for what happened.

That’s an amazing clip. I really wanted to know what he had to say. I never will know. Doesn’t a guest deserve two uninterrupted minutes to explain his idea?

So, much for the state of television news.
